FKOST AS A MANURE. —We know of notrcut
ment so directly beneficial for almost every
class of soils as that of throwing up lan 1 in
narrow ridges, in the fall or early winter.—
There are few soils worth cultivating at all,
that do not contain more or less material.-
which can le made available to plants by the
combined action of a"r and frost.
Take two plots of heavy so 1 side by side,
and let one lie unmoved till spring, while the
other is drcph/ plowed in autumn, and the re
sult will be very visible in the spring crop
But the manner of plowing is important 1"
secure the greatest |>ossible advantage, a single
furrow should be thrown up, and another back
furrow directly upon it, so as to produce a
high ridge, and another ridge is to be made in
the same manner with a deep dead-furrow l>e
twecn the two. The process is to be continu
ed thus through the field, so that when finish
ed, it will present a surface of high ridges and
deep dead furrows, succeeding each ot her, about
once in two or two and a half feet. If prepar
ed in this way, the frost will penetrate far
downward, loosening and disintegrating the
soil below the furrows, while the ridges will
crumble down, as they will not hold water, the
air will circulate freely through them, decom
posing the mineral portions, and conveying in
the aininouiu and other gases. This operation
w ill be equal to ten or more loads of good ma
nure, u|>on clav or compact soils.
In the Spring it will only be necessary to
run a plow "once or twice through the center of
each ridge, and then level the whole down
with a heavy harrow.
Another advantage in this process, is that
when land is thus prepared, it dries out and
warms several days earlier in the Spring. —
Again, there are some soils that arc exhausted
upon the winter, these poisonous compound
(usually proto-sulphate of iron or maiignese i
will le destroyed, or changed to a harmless
form, during the winter.
The above practice is especially to be re
commended in the garden. One of the most
successful cultivators of an acre of ground in
our acquaintance, digs it up in the full to the
depth of three or four feet, making deep trench
es and high ridge- 1 , so that the whole acre ;i}-
pears to be covered with high winrows of hay
placed closely together.
We strongly urge every fainter who has not
tried this method, to lay out their plans now
for experiment in tlih way, on a larger or smal
ler scale, during the present season.—Agricul
turalist.
many horses, valua
ble horses in many respects, are spoiled by hav
ing defective fore feet. The general defect in
the fore feet is called " pinched " or contracted
feet. This makes the animal tender forward,
liable to fall when going down hill, and conse
quently unsafe. When the forward feet of the
horse are defective, his usefulness on the road
is much impaired ; and, in fact, there is uo com
fort or safety in tiding such a horse.
What causes tender feet ? The most com
mon cause is bad shoeing, with improper care
of the animal. There are few good liorse
shoers. Not one blacksmith in fifty knows
how to shoe a horse properly. How frequent
ly do boys and apprentices, as soon as they
can drive a nail, undertake to set shoes with
ont any knowledge of the anatomy of the horse's
feet, or any of that inborn philosophy which
teaches a man to look at the reason of the
thing. It is a shame and an outrage upon the
rights of horses to have such a state of things.
It is also a lamentable fact, that not one
man in a hundred knows when his horse is well
shod. Commonly, a mau leads his horse to
the blacksmith-shop, lets the work be done,
and then goes off with his horse, satisfied, be
cause lie has shoes on his feet.
There are two very common faults in shoe
ing horses. One is, ike shoes are too short.—
How can a horse travel with ease, unless his
shoes are long enough for him to set his whole
feet down ou the shoes ? A horse suffers as
much with short shoes, as a man does with
boots of any insufficient length. How can a
horse travel easily all day over our rough roads,
with shoes half an inch too short ? 1 do not
know how many times 1 have been pained at
seeing horses with short shoes on. Have the
shoe as long us the foot. The longer it is, rea
sonably, the better support it will give.
The second fault is, shoes arc made conr/ive
instead of convex. When a horse sets down
his foot, if it can, it will spread a little. This
arrangement was made to save the animal from
jioiiiiding a solid foot oil the ground. The foot
of a horse has layers or springs, ns it were, in
it ; and the shoe should be made accordingly.
If the heel of the shoe dishes in, how can the
horse's heel spread when he puts his foot down?
It can not ; but it is bound tighter, so that it
cramps the foot aud after a while it results in
pinched feet.
A forward foot shoe should be made with
the heel of it slightly convex, to let the heel
spread naturally when the horse puts his foot
down.-— Maine Partner.
EGYPTIAN WHEAT. —A. Fahncstoek writes
from Toledo to the Ohio Parmer, that some
person in the State of New York procured ami
sowed, last year, thirty-five pounds of this
wheat, and the produce was thirty bushels—
nearly a bushel to a pound of seed sown. It
is an early white wheat, and stools wheat.—
The straw is strong—is solid in the upper por
tion, but in the lower has a pith like the elder.
The heads are branched, having one main head,
and from it. shoots out from three and four to
eight and ten heads. One stalk on a shoot,
exhibited at the Ohio State Fair, had on it
eight, and another ten heads, besides the main
head. It is not likely to lodge, und the whole
patch raised last year averaged near six feet
high. Its origin is said to be unknown.
ARTIFICIAL FlSH. —There was a new feature
at the Agricultural Fair, at Cleveland, Ohio—
n show of fish raised artificially. They are
chiefly spotted brook trout, from six months to
two years old, and were in a large tank with
glass sides, supplied with a minting stream of
ice water. Doctors Garlieh and Arckley, who
furnish the exhibition, have quite a " fish rais
ing " about two miles from Cleveland. In the
jHind are thou-ands of fish, principally trout,
all ruised by artificial means.
W&f* Condensed Eggs, like solidified milk,
are among the novelties of recent device. The
yolk and white are subjected to evajioration.
When thoroughly dried, the mass is reduced
to powder, packed in tins, and kept for any
length of time. This powder, it is said, may
lie used for ull purposes, just as the fresh egg

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
DIRECT &TO-&-FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE.
JAMES HARRIS. ELECTRICIAN, of Towanda, respect
fully informs the public that he has lately procured
from New Y'ork the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath,
which has proven to be one of the most 'important and
wonderful discoveries of the age. from its ability to extract
minerals from the human system.
Some eight years ago, a physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the body,
by galvanism ; more recently, M. Verges, of New York,
aii electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of
poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
iris art, conceived the idea of removing them by the same
processes, he succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to others similarly af
fected. with like results. His success exceeded his most
sanguine expectations, for not only did these Baths remove
mineral poisons, hot cured many discuses, some of which
were the result of minerals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin
gular power of this Bath to draw from the system all mi
nerals that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment
of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases
which are beyond, the comprehension of the most skilful
physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous mine
rals accumulating in the system for years, tukcu in the
shape of calomel, lead, Ac. Ac.
The following are some of the diseases cured by these
baths: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's Cholic,
Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer,
Xeuraiia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all
kinds.
He has also S. B. Smith's newly invented DIRECT A XD
TO-AXD FRO ELECTRO M AGXKTIC M ACIIIXE. which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the Bath and Machine, we
have at command all the available medical efficiency of
Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is verv
great, in introducing medicines into the system through
the (wires of the skin—applying it directly to the parts af
fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over
that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular
ly efficacious in all local diseases.
I am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the
Machines, at inv house in the south part of the iwirough
of Towanda, or 1 will visit patients at a distance, who are
unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo
derate prices.
I am also sole agent for Bradford county, for the above
Machines. JAMES HARRIS.
